Default RE: Twist 3D 60 ARF

Thanks,
The first few flights went well, once in the air and with just a couple slight trim adjustments it flew flat and level with no input. however the CG will need to be moved aft a bit, at 5.25 its just to forward. I'll try it at 5.5 next time out.

The 110 pulled the plane very well , in fact it was almost to much, it would hang on the prop at around 1/3 throttle , one click up or down and the plane would follow. its very touchy. I'm turning a apc 16x4w now and was thinking of trying other props to see if I can find one that isnt so sensitive to input. I have some 16x4 wood props on order maybe they will do the trick.
The planes is set up with
YS 110
Futaba S9451 servos
4-40 rods soldered
Du Bro HD ball links 'bolted"
DuBro HD Servo arms
3" soft foam wheels (? make, I hade these from years ago )
Sullivan Tail wheel
TruTurn 2" wide chord alum spinner
Voltwatch
Hydramax NIMH 2000Mah




Sorry I didnt get any "action photos" but heres a couple static pics of the plane and field
